- Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil
- 1 large orange
- 1 3/4 cups crushed vanilla wafers
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar

- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
- Cranberry Orange Sauce:
- 1 cup fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with a double layer of 18-inch-wide Reynolds Wrap(R) Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil. Bring edges of the foil up and mold the foil around the sides of the springform pan to form a watertight seal outside of the pan.
- Zest 1 teaspoon orange zest from the orange. Juice 1/4 cup orange juice from the orange set both aside.

- Beat cream cheese, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, flour, and orange zest together in a large bowl using an electric mixer on low speed until combined. Add orange juice and beat until smooth. Beat in eggs and white chocolate.
- Pour filling into crust-lined pan. Place roasting pan on the oven rack. Pour enough boiling water into roasting pan to reach halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
- Bake 1 hour or until top is just set and edges jiggle slightly when pan is gently shaken. Turn oven off and allow cheesecake to stand in oven for 1 hour (it will continue to set up during standing time in oven).
- Remove springform pan from water bath and cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Using a small sharp knife, loosen the crust from sides of the springform pan cool for 30 minutes. Remove sides of springform pan cool cheesecake on wire rack for 2 hours.
- Cover and chill for at least 4 hours before serving. Top with Cranberry Orange Sauce to serve.

Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar is dissolved and the cranberries start to break down. Remove from heat and cool completely before serving.
